CATARRH DESCRIBED.
The Symptoms Attending That Disease
Which Leads to Consumption.

When catarrh has existed in the head and the
upper part of the throat for any length of time
the patient living in II district where people
are subject to catarrhal aifeCtion--and the dis
ease has been left uncured, the Catarrh invari-
ably, sometimes slowly, extends down the wind
pipe and into the bronchial tubes which tubes
convey the air into the different parts OF the
lungs. The tubes become affected from the
swelling and the mucous arising from catarrh
and, in some instances, become plugged up, so
that the air cannot get in as freely as it should
Shortness of breath follows and the patient
breathes with labor and difficulty.
In either case there is a sound of cracking
and Wheeling inside the chest. At this stage OF
the disease the breathing is usually more rapid
than when in health. The patient has also hot
dashes over his body.
The pain which accompanies this condition Is
of dull character. felt in the chest, behind the
breast bone, or under the shoulder blade. INC
pain may come and go-last a few days and
then be absent for several others. The cough
that occurs in the first stages of bronchial Gu
tarrh is dry. comes on at intervals. hacking in

DIED IN JAIL.
An Old Man From Fremont Suddenly
Expircs.

Jesse Mortimer, II man past his fiftieth
year, for many months had been suffer-
ing with lingering illness at Fremont,
and for some weeks been an expense
to that city. Last Sunday he was we'll
enough to be about, and the COM
missioncrs of Fremont told him of
the beauties and rich prospects in
store for him in Omaha, and then
shipped him to this city. He had not
been here long before he was picked up
and taken to the police station, and dur
ing the past two days DR.. Ralph called
upon him five times. The unfortunate
man complained but little, in fact he
was too i'll to talk. The officers and
patrolmen have done all they could for
him, and life was made as pleasant as
possible as he lay suffering on his
cot. At 2:05 o'clock this morning
he was given u drink of water by
Jailer Orinsby, and then the old man
lighted his pipe and lay silently smok-
ing. AT 2:25 o'clock he was found dead
with the old black pipe held in his
hand as if he had just taken it from his
lips. Coroner Drexel was Immediately
notified, and also DR.. Ralph. The
former took charge of the remains.
DR.. Ralph, in speaking of this case,
said that this is not the first paupor that
has been shipped to Omaha, but that it
is beginning to be a regular thing to re-
ceive them from Lincoln, Fremont
Hastings and other cities.

SNEEZING CATARRH.
What II Means, How II Acts, and What
II Is.

You sneeze when you get up in the morning,
you try to sneeze your nose OIL every time you
are exposed to the least draft of air. You have
a fullneSs the front OF the forehead and
the nose feels as If there was a plug in each
nostril which you cannot dislodge. You blow
your nose until your ears crack, but 1t don't do
any good. and the only result is that you succeed
III getting up very red nose, and you so irri-
tate the lining membrane of thai organ that
you are unable to breathe through it at all
This is "a correct and not overdrawn picture or
an acute attack of catarrh, or 'Sneezing Ca
turrh' as ii Is called.
Now what does this condition indicate? First,
n cold that causes mucus to be poured out by
the glands in the nose; then those diseased
glands are attacked by swarms of little germs
The catafrh gcrm-that float in the air in II To-
catty where the disease Is prevalent. These
animalculae, in their efforts to ind a lodgInent
irritate the sensitive membrane lining of the
nose and nature undertakes to rid herself of
them by producing "A tit of sneeHing.
When The nose becomes filed with thtckened
diseased mucus the natural channels for the in
PRODUCTION of air into the lungs is interfered
with, and the person so effected must breathe
through the mouth, and by such means the
throat becomes parched and dry, snoring Is pro-
duced, and then the catarrhal disease gains
ready access to the throat and lungs.

What Needs to BE Done.

1t looking over the averages of the present
seasons base ball team it is ascertained that
their work at times was of very brilliant if
not phenominal order. AT other times they
fell down, to use a phrase of the turf, and
played game a nine of high school boys
would have been ashamed of. AS n general
thing their fielding was fully up to the West
ern League standard, but their average bat
ting throughout the season was very poor.
The men who did the most uniform good
work were Walsh, Healey and Messett, while
Genins' work was exceedingly ly meritorious.
Walsh undoubtedly played as good a short
field as any man in the league, and barring
the latter part of the season batted and ran
bases with the very best in the profess
sion. The BEE, Notwithstanding but
little can be said of the construction
of next years team, ascertains that
it is highly probable that the first three
men above mentioned will be retained and
maybe one other. AS to the new men nothing
can be said, for as yet none have been sought
after or negotiated with. Notwithstanding
this years team stood fifth in the champion
ship race the club lost no money, which is
evidence enough that a winning nine here
would be a bonanza. This the directors are
determined to have, and it is lucky deter
would kill the game. The capital stock has
been increased TO $4,000, and Omaha will
enter the new Western association in as good
financial standing as any club in the circuit.
However, they must not lose sight OF the
fact that it is false economy TO postpone any
longer the engagement of players. Every
manager in the country is hustling for new
material and the promising players are being
gobbed up at AN alarming. rate. If the
gentlemen in charge Of the Local affairs hope
to carry out their laudable determination t6
secure a creditable team they must be up and
doing or all their good intentions will avail
naught. There is not aquestion but what
this city will handsomely support tirst-class
and well paid team, and delay is danSerou;

to the BEE. If the sentiments expressed by
Land Commissioner Sparks are accepted as
an indication of that gentleman's feelings, it
is evident that he is far from being in a happy
frame of mind. About ten days ago Secre-
tary Lamar reversed a decision of General
Sparks, which resulted in giving the Chicago,
St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha railway com
pany about two million acres of land, which
the land commissioner alleged rghtfully be-
longed to the United States as an Indian and
military reservation. The commissioner is
now preparing letter TO the secretary re
questing him to review his recent decision.
He was engaged upon that work
this morning when an acquaint-
ance entered the room. General Sparks
laid down his pen and leaning
back i'll his chair mprcssively said: "Sooner
or later the man who undertakes to fight cor
perate monopolies goes to the WALL ''Surely
this is not true with YOU" qucried the com
missiOners visitor
The latter replied, mo there's to much
right on my side. The monoplies can't dash
my brains out but I've abundant proof every
day that they are trying it mighty hard"
Before General Sparks visitor left the
room he satisfied himself from certain re-
marks made by the commissioner that i'm the
event that Secretary Lamar does not reverse
his recent decision that General Sparks will
feel it incumbent upon himself to tender his
resignation.
